My kodk easysharem853 camera fall down in water saturday. I took the battery and card and rub with towel and dry the camera in sunlight for a while and put the battery to turn on the camera. It turns on but nothing display in LCD. The again took out the battery dry the camera with hair drier and put battery again but nothing but white display in LCD. Now i am put the camera in sunlight with opening the battery lid from yesterday. How long i have to dry it for days and put the battery to switch on the camera. Will it work after drying for couple of days hepl me out with the answer

Put camera in a warm place and leave for 48 hours

First things first, DON'T TURN IT ON. Now that we got that out of the way, promptly remove the battery, and storage media (SD card, XD card, etc.), and leave all covers and doors open. Dry off the outside with a towel, and allow the entire thing to air dry for AT LEAST 2 days, more if you can afford it. If you allow it to dry on its own, you should have no problems. If you try to turn it on while there is still water in it, you will fry the circuits. Best of luck!

Hi,
Your circuit board was damaged and need to fix at dealer or repair shop. Regards

If your device gets covered in water, act fast and rationally, and you may be able to save your device.

1. DO NOT TRY TO TURN IT ON
2. Pull out the battery.
3. Please your device and battery into a bowl of uncooked rice to absorb any moisture.
4. Please it in a warm, dry place where it can receive direct sunlight.
5. Be patient. It is recommended that you leave it in there for at least 48 hours.
6. After 48 hours, put the battery back in and power on.

you did good and removing the battery and memory card was also a good idea....leave the unit for a couple days the way it is...check later to see if there is any white or green residue(powder) or rust looking areas around the memory card and battery location...if it seems clear then it should be fine, if you see any type residue, then water got into the unit and is starting to corrode it...which means 2 things...either buy a new one or you can still try to salvage this one by having it opened and cleaned out with acetone and dried up completely..then for sure it will be good to go..but first try what I suggested

Where on earth do you find snow this time of year ? If moisture has got inside the camera, chances are it's ruined, I'm afraid.

Try to let the phone dry out by itself, set it on the window sill let it dry out for a little while, a lot of times water still gets down (internally) inside the phone, so it looks dry on the outside but it's still wet on the inside of the internal components. Try to let it dry out for a couple hours in the sunlight, caution, though, don't let the screen sit with direct sunlight bearing down on it.

I would caution on using the blowdryer, too hot of a setting can damage the internal components, so use the lowest setting possible. you can also try a low suction vacuum cleaner, also...

Ensure you:

Immediately take the battery out, and leave it out, water and electrical components don't mix.
Take out the sim card and attempt to dry it, just be careful with it because it's sensitive.

Let it sit next to a low heat source for a couple of days, periodically checking up on it. But I would'nt try to power it back up until you are confident that all the water is gone and evaporated out of the phone, otherwise you could fry the internal circuits and damage your phone.

I have the same problem with my Nikon N65 film SLR and I bought a vintage Super 8 movie camera where the rubber had turned to the consistency of gum on a side-walk on a hot summer day. On the a camera I carefully rubbed on a coat of talcum (which probably isn't the best thing to use on a camera but I was careful and it isn't something I do every day). I then took a small square I cut from an old terry towel and used friction and elbow grease to rub off the top layer of the rubber. I then took another square of the towel and dipped it in hot soapy water, squeezed out the excess and washed all that remained. I then took a small water-colour brushed (after I dried the surface of course), and dusted the surface of the rubber with talcum and let it sit overnight. This seemed to stop the derioration and clear off what had built up. The next day I took a very dry damp towell (if that makes sense) and wiped off the surface. It pretty much took care of that problem. That was the Nikon, it was only in the beginning stages, the Super 8 camera which had apparently hadn't been out of the case in 20 years. The Super 8 was so bad that I don't even know what had deteriorated, probably a rubber eye piece, that one was time consuming but basically I put the powder on carefully and just wiped big clumps off the metal eye piece. The powder just served to make it easy to clean up and kept it from turning into a 3 stooges farce with one thing sticking to the other and so on. Well, I hope this helps, I don't know why it works, maybe there's a chemist out there that can explain it to me. Good luck!!

FujiPix e500 got wet and doe's not work anymore. Can it be fixed and is it worth fixing?
